Is Safari The Best Web Browser?

I Have been dissapointed lately with safari, its always seem to be slow & i have cable. the pages sometimes take forever or get errors, plus alot of video dont play. i was wondering if anyone has tried and can say that there are other browsers that are better. i was thinkin along the lines of firefox or netscape...
What is the best, fastest web browser available for mac osx?
thanks!

Shiira is really fast, but it crashes from time to time.
Currently I use Camino, but after installing Beta 2 yesterday I've had some strange hangups... so I might switch back to Opera pretty soon.

What is the best web browser for iPad 2

What is the best web browser for iPad 2?

I have Mercury, Atomic, Dolphin and iCab. They all offer features that Safari does not have. If you liked the former mini windows view that Safari had in iOS 4, I think iCab would be a great choice. It offers something similar to that as well as tabbed browsing, DropBox support, it can identify as other browsers (I can't remember what that feature is called) and IMO - it blows Safari out of the water.
All of these browsers have more to offer than Safari, but I like iCab the best.

There is no Firefox for the iPad, but there are other browsers available in the App Store (just search for browser) e.g. Atomic Web, iCab, Mercury, Skyfire

Is Safari the best for the mac?

i have a new macbook and have noticed that safari is rather slow compared to my old windows xp computer which i used firefox. i read a little here on these boards and noticed other have some issues with safari.
i want to ask if safari is the best online browser or if there is better? i downloaded firefox and noticed it is a bit faster.
should i keep with safari? I mean, it did come with my new macbook...but so did internet explorer on my old windows laptop and never used it.
i'm one to take full advantage of applications and know the ups and downs of the application im using. does safari have enough features for me to keep at it or what?
thanks.

It is really hard to give a definative answer to this, because it becomes a matter of preference.
Safari, is a very good web browser.
There are of course many users that prefer Firefox, or Mozilla,Opera,SeaMonkey, and on and on. Here is a link that will not only give you a wide array of choices, it may also help to confuse you.

Safari as standard web browser

After installing Firefox 2.0 on my pc, it has become impossible to make Safari my standard web browser. Even if I uninstall Firefox the only result is, that IE is set as standard browser.

Thanks. I tried both suggestions, but IE still pops up, when I click a hyperlink from my mail-program (Outlook 2002). Using Control Panel the option "Use current web browser" (which should be Safari) is persistently selected, when opening "Set Program Access and Defaults" again. Puzzling!

Nintendo WII uses OPERA Browsers. The WII system should load the best opera browser. The problem is that it does not load flash player 8. [email protected] 619-366-9707

That's probably more a problem to ask Nintendo or Opera Software?

How do I get the little web browser hand to appear over my b

Hopefully this is an easy answer....
I have just uploaded my new website and noticed that when you
place the cursor over my image buttons that have "onClick - Open
Browser" behavior tags on them, the little web browser hand doesn't
show up. You know, the one that tells you something is a link? I'm
afraid people won't know that the images are buttons unless the
hand shows up. Any idea on how to make the hand appear? Any advice
would be great. Please keep in mind that I'm only a intermediate
level web designer. Here's my website:

What is the best web host?

Hi,
I have finished producing two websites. One of the websites is a personal website which holds all the films that I have helped produce. It is basically a CV for people to look at on the internet. It will be a large sized website, not sure how large it will be, but basically need a lot of space for it, I would imagine. I have also finished producing a website for a dentist practice which has over 500 pages. Its current size is 150MB but I have a feeling that I will be adding four images per page to the site, which will increase the size. Anyways, these have both been created with iWeb and I was wondering what is the best web host to publish these with? Now that MobileMe has gone and iCloud won't publish websites anymore, is there a certain web host that all of the iWeb users have rushed to to publish their sites? I have looked at a lot of the hosts and they all seem confusing and their own business websites look confusing, which puts me off buying from them. I am looking for the cheapest host, that would allow me to host two website, so the dentist website and my own personal website, with no bandwidth limit or disk space limit. I have read the small print on two of the 'best' web hosts that say that they have 'unlimited' bandwidth and disk space and they say that it is not unlimited and they will either charge me more for exceeding the limit or they will shut the website down. The problem is that they don't state what their limit is so I am guessing that it is a scam. They are also only charging around £2 per month, which is fine but you have to buy like 2 years with them for that price. I don't want to do that. Would prefer it if there was a host that has a free trail, even if it is as little as 24 hours trial. Would also like to not be tied in for longer than 1 year. I would also like a host that has the domain names included in the price.
Overall, this is all getting too confusing for me and there is so much to take in. I just want to know, what is everyone doing now that MobileMe has shut down and iCloud does not allow Web Publishing?
A list of people's prefered web hosts would be amazing please. Also a breif description as to why you think it is better than all of the rest.
Thank you for your time and effort.
All the best,
George.

The most important consideration with website hosting is reliability and good tech support - not price!
Host Excellence offer a 30 day money back guarantee if you are not satisfied. Also read aout the "Anytime Money Back Guarantee".
Be suspicious of cheap offers. For example, Yahoo offers a registration for 10 bucks but wants 35 after that. Try getting tech support from them!

How To Script The F11 Web Browser Key Functionality?

You've seen many Home pages that give you the choice of
screen res. When you click a res, say full-screen, the new page
opens up in a secondary popup and fills the screen.
Yuck. This is not what I'm looking for.
However, what I want to know is, can a swf be Actionscripted
- not Javascripted - to carry out the F11 web browser key
functionality, whereby when the swf loads in the Home page, it sets
the web browser into kiosk or full-screen mode without using
Javascript or HTML instructions in the HTML/xHTML head (E 7 Beta
totally ignores these "arcane" instructions which is a real shame
and a major pain in the butt).
If so, please post the Actionscript on this forum for us all
to enjoy!
Fingers are crossed with this one.....

Hello
Here's another way you may try.
--SCRIPT
set rb to "# get bundle id of default browser
require 'osx/cocoa'
include OSX
url = NSURL.URLWithString('http://aaa.bbb.ccc')
app = NSWorkspace.sharedWorkspace.URLForApplicationToOpenURL(url)
puts NSBundle.bundleWithPath(app.path).bundleIdentifier
return do shell script "/usr/bin/ruby -e " & rb's quoted form
--END OF SCRIPT
Regards,
H

Can't set Safari as default web browser

I recently installed Firefox as a back up web browser for when I have problems with Safari. Now whenever I click a link in an email it opens up Firefox even though Safari is already opened. My default web browser has set itself for Firefox and has even removed Safari as an option! I have to choose "Select" to get to my apps folder to choose Safari. But even then the email links insist on opening Firefox and when I restart my computer, Firefox is once again the seleceted browser in the Safari prefrences. How can I keep this from happening?

Hello Jazlow,
I believe to change the default browser all you have to do is open Safari -> Preferences -> General -> Default browser. That should change it for you.
Didn't finish reading the last post. You can try to delete the firefox preference file org.mozilla.firefox.plist or using a program like pref setter to edit the apple.safari.plist though I wouldn't recommend that unless your very familiar with the OS. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
